TORONTO – Remstar Films has picked up Canadian rights to Andrew Dominik's Blonde, which stars Jessica Chastain and chronicles the inner life of Marilyn Monroe.

The indie distributor completed the deal with Wild Bunch for the pic produced by Plan B's Dede Gardner and Brad Pitt and adapted from Joyce Carol Oates’ fictionalized biography of the late Hollywood starlet.

Remstar, which cashed in on the Canadian release of Jean-Marc Vallee's Dallas Buyers Club, also is partnering with Elevation Pictures to release Michel Hazanavicius’ The Search, his follow-up to The Artist.
